Lamborghini Murciélago

The Murciélago ( Murciélago is the Spanish name for the bat )  is the successor for Diablo and has been in production since 2001. They stopped the production in 2010.  The Murciélago was introduced as a coupe in 2001, succeeding the famed Diablo supercar in Lamborghini's lineup. The car was the automaker's first new design in eleven years, as well as the first under the ownership of German automaker Audi. It was styled by Peruvian-born Belgian Luc Donckerwolke, Lamborghini's head of design from 1998 to 2005. With its V12 engine it gives a indescribable sound, more brutal and raw than its "baby brother" Gallardo ( which only has a V10 ), but does it make any difference? Some people think, yeah okay it have a 72hp ( Information taken from the old engine ) more than we have in the Gallardo, but it also weighs 200 kg more! The Murciélago is still  faster and named after a fighting bull that survived 28 sword strokes in 1879. 

In March 2006, Lamborghini presented a new version of the Murciélago at the Geneva Motor Show ( the Murciélago LP640 ). The new designation accompanying the car's name indicated the engine's position and orientation within the car, and referenced the V12 engine's uprated power output: with its displacement increased to 6.5 litres, the engine in the new car made 631hp at 8000 rpm. The Murciélago's exterior received a minor facelift, with revised front and rear fascias and side air intakes. A new exhaust system is shaped into the rear diffuser, and the left-hand side air intake is enlarged to accommodate the oil cooler. A revised suspension , a launch control system, and an all whell drive system round out the performance modifications. A new 6-speed "E-gear" sequential automatic transmission became available as well. It´s cost  $318,800 in the USA.

 The development of a successor to the Murciélago has been widely speculated in the motoring press, as the supercar approaches the end of its first decade in production. Spy photos published on the internet in January 2010 showed a camouflaged Lamborghini prototype undergoing winter testing. The car is expected to be called the LP 700-4 Aventador, and will use an all-new V12 engine.
